Black money in foreign banks has become a queer issue, setting off an equally queer debate. We are hearing arguments, for and against, which are more or less parrot-like. The whole nation appears arrayed into two contesting parties, the ruling party seeming to be on the back foot, if not in the dock. Especially, Media appears to be exceptionally prompt, not in discharging its primary obligation, but in fishing in the troubled waters, having eye on the TRP.
What actually is true or fake, is hardly a question for the victims among the viewers and the readers to exhibit promptness in fruitlessly discovering at this stage, for Apex Court is already there on the job. Any public anxiety in the matter is thus uncalled for.
Then what is called for? For those who are the victims at the receiving end, the viewers and the readers, whom the media and the two contesting parties in seisin have mischievously engaged, keeping them glued to the idiot box or the news dailies which seem no better than sophisticated and improvised politically charged cinema posters.
Please think, consider, and make out. It is time to take a stand and form a mind set in this regard. The present post is dedicated to this point.
Be it media or a politician or a political party or group, the victims are their audience, the listeners or viewers. What is delivered at the receiving end is essentially laconic, hiding more than revealing.
It is time to understand, why?
To fully grasp this aspect, one has to go into the mindset of a litigant. If there is absence of personal experience in litigation, whether as a litigant directly involved or as a steward, as are legal, para legal professionals or aides associated with their conduct. Tricks, twists and turns are bare words that are hollow, meaning-wise , if one falls outside the above bracket of experiential component of litigation.
As such, those having ever worn shoes that pinched, courtesy pending litigation of any kind, would appreciate this. Others may find this idea passing off, like a tangent. The latter category constitute a majority, for whom non-formal learning.
It is here that Media may be seen as a party obligated. Others under reference above are obviously condemned to play tricks, as litigants do. What litigants practice in law court, in circumvention of law but hiding circumventions by chicanery , is exactly that which the above said parties , arrayed in litigation in the people's court, are under obvious compulsion to practice. But the Media too steps in the fray, outwitting one another in hoodwinking its audience, by its laconic approach. This is detested.
Coming to the example in the present scenario, what media has been designedly holding back? In the black money matter, of course. Please guess and comment, if indeed figured out. But if not, let us try to explore, in subsequent posts.

विदेश में कला धन . इस विषय पर हमें इंसानी आवाज़ कम तोते की तान अधिक सुनाई पड़ रही है . ना सिर्फ दो पक्ष , पूरा देश लगता है दो पक्ष में बट गया है . सत्ताधारी पार्टी लगता है जैसे कटघरे में खड़ी है और विपक्ष गोले बाज़ी के तर्ज़ पर सवाल दाग रहा है .
ऐसे में मीडिया भुट्टे सेक रही है .
सच क्या ऐ झूठ क्या, यह प्रश्न अभी विचार का विषय नहीं होना चाहिए . इस बिंदु पर विचार करने के लिए सर्वोच्च न्यायलय जब तत्पर है ही तो किसी और को तत्परता दिखाने का उपक्रम करने की कोई आवश्यकता नहीं है.
